Golf Thread

[Texas Ace]

Only in WGAS tournaments.

During majors he's more inclined to piss down his leg over the weekend than make a charge up the leader board.

His collapse today is nothing new. He's been doing this the past few years.

You're right and I've made this point myself in this thread.

The ONLY reason I can't call him a choker yet is because he only recently began golfing well again. So it could be another season before he gets back into full Tiger mode and gets his game to transfer on over into the majors.

If he's doing this in 2014 as well, then he will be more than deserving of the choker label.....because he is and has been folding under the pressure in the late rounds of his recent majors that have all been there for the taking.

Westwood is falling apart.

Crazy Sunday. It's like Chutes and Ladders with people moving up and down after every hole.

 

[Texas Ace]

I'd like to see Phil make a run at this thing in these last few holes.

It's right there for him.

 

[Carp]

It's a fun watch for sure.

 

[Texas Ace]

Through all his struggles, Tiger is still in it after that birdie.

I'm guessing he's gonna need at least 2 more birdies....maybe even 3.

 

[Texas Ace]

And with Scott botching that last hole, Phil has it all in his hands to get this one.

Those last 2 shots from Phil were great to setup the easy birdie.

Looks like Phil has got this thing wrapped up.

Looks like Phil has got this thing wrapped up.

He's in the zone.

 

[Texas Ace]

With that birdie, it's a wrap.

Congrats to Phil.....played his ass off.

 

[Deuce]

Very happy for Phil. My favorite player to root for for a long time.

 

[L.T. Fan]

Which situations?

Tight finishes if he is in the running. That Isn't the case at this time.

Very happy for Phil. My favorite player to root for for a long time.

Same.

And so, onto Muirfield, which I think is the single best golf course and fairest/ truest test in all of major golf. Just look at the winners since the 50's.

Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, Nick Faldo, Nick Faldo (again) and Ernie Els. If Tiger is back on form, this is his best chance to win a major this year. This course brings out the best in the best.

And there you go. Muirfield proves again to be the truest test in golf; Mickelson joins a very exclusive list.

Happy enough for Phil. I made money this weekend. Would have liked to see Lee to win one. Great course, worthy winner.

I like Phil's wife too...he also has about 80 Five Guys and Fries franchises in CA. Doing well.

Brandel Chamblee for the Golf Channel, is IMO better than any other analyst working on any other sport on US TV. Often, spot on.

I know this is gonna fall into the WGAS category for some if you because it's not a major, but what Tiger is doing right now is ridiculous.

A 61 yesterday? Crazy.

He's already birdied 3 holes today.

So, going with the following at PGA.

Scott at 18/1 as main bet
Rose at 28/1 EW
Zach Johnson 45/1 EW...course doesnt suit, but he is playing well
Sergio 55/1...EW
Bill Hass at 60/1.EW

and since its a major, one more:

Richard Sterne 125/1 ew.

 

[Texas Ace]

Tiger is coming into this major off of his best performance of the year.

Can he finally win one?
